How To Dig Out Your Car After A Snow Storm?

Snowstorms in December and January are inevitable, and you need to be prepared for the worst. Be it your property or your car, and you need to make sure that they are safe even during the worst days. 

But what to do if your car gets stuck after a snowstorm? This article is all about that.

In this article, we’ll talk about a few tips that can help you dig your car after a snowstorm.

How To Dig Out Your Car After A Snowstorm?

• Be Prepared

The winter season is here, and you should be ready for any possible situation, especially if you plan to go on a drive on a snow-covered road. Keep a roadside emergency kit in your car all the time, and make sure that it has all winter essentials. This way, when you need to dig out your vehicle, you can start by putting on warm layers and gloves. 

• Use An Ice Melt

An ice melt is the best way to melt the ice that covers your car. Now, most people think that ice melt will take time to melt the snow, but the fact is it is the easiest and the quickest way to melt the ice. Also, this doesn’t need a lot of manual work. The only thing you need to make sure of is that if you plan to use salt-based ice melt, it’s a pet-friendly salt and doesn’t affect metals in any way. However, it’s better to use a good ice melt that doesn’t contain salt. The reason is that salt is harmful to mostly all kinds of surfaces. For example, if you use salt on a wood deck, it can lead to corrosion and is poisonous for pets and kids. 

SafePaw is one of the most used ice melts that’s been trusted for over 20 years and is 100% safe for pets, metals, children, and the environment. It’s easy to use, affordable and gets the work done quickly.

• Clear The Door And Exhaust Pipe

Now when you start cleaning the snow around your car, you should start from the door so that you can make a path to your driver’s seat. Also, when you try to dig out the snow with a shovel, make sure you use the shovel with your legs instead of your back. This will help you avoid any kind of serious injuries. Now once you’re done with that part, start clearing the snow from the exhaust pipe to prevent carbon monoxide fumes from getting into the car. 

• Start The Car

If your car lock is frozen, you will need to heat your key for some time and then insert it for starting the car. Now turn on your defroster and let it do its work.
